Be it known that I, HUGH W. TwAoonn, a citizen of the United States;residing at New Rochelle, in the county of Nestchest'er and State of NewYork, have invented new and useful Improncments in'Ghfe-Pots; of whichthe following is a specification.

Thisinventioii relates to glue pots and itconsists in the ,novelfeatures hereinafter described and claimed. I An" object of theinvention is to provide a gluepot havingmeans for maintaining the waterin thepot at a uniform level when the pot is in use. lVith this objectin vieiv the pot is provided at its side and above its bot .tom with anoutstanding nipple with which an L connectionis connected. Means isprovided for supporting the said L connection in an adjustable-.mannerand a supply bottle or vessel is detachably connected with the saidconnection. 'This bottle 'may be'pf the usual form or type oil-it may heprovided with meansfifor connecting thesame' with source of water supplyif desii'edt r In the accompanying drawing:Figure 1 tion with parts insection. Fig; 2 is a side elevation of anotheriorm of the invention.

The not 1 is of the" usual configuration and is adapted to receive abucket 2 in the usual manner the said bucket being adapted to containthe glue. The bucket e-isf rovided at its upper edge with a flange 3 aapted to l is mounted at the upper; end .of the bottle 85 rest upon theupper edge of the pot whereby the bottom of the bucket is held in spacedrelation from the bottomof thc pot.v The bucket 2 is further providedwith a bail 4.

The pot 1 is provided at its side and at a point above" its bottom witha nipple 5 and an i. 6 is connected with the outer end of the saidnipple. screw 7 is adjustablylnonnted in the lower portion of-the 1.(land is adapted to hear at its loiverend against the support upon whichthe om rests and may be used for supporting the L 6 and the partsmounted thereon and may also be used, for holding the pot 1 at a desiredlevel or position upon the heater on which the said pot is mountedduring the process of heating the lue. b A. bottle 8 iscletachably'connected at its .tw 1 in srajins PATENT oFF'rcE.

mouth with the upper, of the L6 and is,

adapted to; contain water In the form of the' invention as shown in-Fig.1 the bottle 8 is of usual configuration and when filled with water isconnected with the vupper end oi the L 6 and/the water flowsdown throughthe said L and the nipple and into'the, pot' -1 until the water assumesa -ie vel as i'ndicated bj/ dotted line in Fig. Lwhich level is at theupper side of the nipple The t'vater then ceases to flow from theliottle8 but as the Water in the pot l'evaporates and theilevel passes belowthe upper side 50f the ;.nipple 5 the water will flow down from the 65.

bottle 8 and always maintain the water in the pot 1 at the levelindicated by the dotted line in the said pot. Thus-during'the process ofheating the glue the water is maintaiiied ata. constantor uniform leveland there fore there is no dangci of the glue boiling by reason of thefact that the water becomes exhausted in the pot. Inasmuch as-the bottieSf-is transparent, or ii's fitted with transparent water-column, thewater therein may be readily ob servcd and it may be seenat..aglancewhen the water is gettinglow and any time and replenishedwith water at any time after the water has been 'exhausteddfl therefrom.f a In the'form as showxpin' Fig. 1 a pipe is connected with the bottle8 and thesaid pipe is provided with a valve 10. A pet .coclt 11 8 and isvalved as usual. A valve 12" is 10- cated at' the neck of. the bottle 8.,'In this a form of the invention it is unnecessary to detach th bottle5 from theL 6 when 1t is desired to .neplenish the said bottle with 9'0,water. In the event that the water becomes exhzuiste dfrom the bottle 8the valve ,12 is: closed and the vaive, in the petcock. 11 is ppened.The valve 10 is then hpened and water is permitted to How from the pipe9 into the 'hottle 8 until the bottle 8 is filled. \Vixen this takesplace the valve. 10 is closed as is also the valve in the pet cock. Thevalve 12 is opened and the winter is free to flow from the bottle 8thnongh the L 6 and nipple into the -pot 1 Therefore it will be seen asimple and durable means is provided for maintaining the Water in a gluepot at a uniform level during the time that the potis being used forheating glue. Having described the invention What is 5 claimed is i Incombination with a glue pot, a nipple attached to the side thereof abovethe bottom thereof, an L connected with the nipple,

a water receptacle detachably connected supporting the same andadjust-able toward and away from the Water receptacle to tilt the pot.

In testimony whereof I afiiX my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
